Why this works
A protein-rich, moderately energy-dense dish with notable saturated fat and sodium from chorizo and cheese.
High-quality protein. Eggs, chorizo and cheddar provide a substantial protein hit, supporting satiety and muscle repair.
Vitamin A and potassium. Sweet potato contributes beta-carotene (vitamin A precursor) and potassium, which support vision and normal blood pressure.
Saturated fat and salt are notable. Chorizo, cheddar and mayonnaise increase saturated fat and sodium, so this is best enjoyed occasionally if watching heart health or blood pressure.
Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C (Fan 180°C, 392°F, Gas Mark 6). Grease a 12-hole muffin tin.
- Peel and dice the sweet potato into small 1 cm cubes, then cook in simmering water until just tender. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, fry the chorizo in a dry pan for a few minutes until it releases its oil and starts to crisp.
- Beat the eggs with the milk in a large bowl, then stir in the cooked sweet potato, chorizo and grated cheese.
- Divide the mixture between the muffin holes and bake for 15-18 minutes, until set and lightly golden.
- Mix the orange juice, brown sauce and mayonnaise together to make a quick drizzle.
- Rest the frittatas for a couple of minutes, then serve warm with the orange-brown drizzle over the top.
